Men with degrees who earn $100,000 per year or more are leading the charge to clock in fewer hours at work

Men with degrees who earn $100,000 per year or more are leading the charge to clock in fewer hours at work, per BI.

"We think these highly-educated, hard-working high-earners are cutting back on hours for better work-life balance, which is the crux of the Quiet Quitting phenomena," said the paper.

"The lower participation rate is to a large extent a continuation of a trend that existed since the Great Recession," Shin and the other researchers wrote. "The reduction in hours among workers is a new phenomenon induced by the pandemic, but available evidence suggests that it will likely stay with us."

"The pandemic may have motivated people to re-evaluate their life priorities," the researchers found, "and also gotten them accustomed to more flexible work arrangements (e.g.,work from home), leading them to choose to work fewer hours, especially if they can afford it."
